When I was young, when we still stayed at the old kampung house... it used to have different different 'uncle' selling 'bao' & ice cream & roti & junk food & soya etc etc etc by the super motor(super coz there are tons of food hanged on it :P). The 'bi bo bi bo' horn of the motor served as an 'alarm' clock of the day, reminds me that its time for tea time and few hours later mama would be back from work!

Now... we gotto drive out and hunt for the food...sigh... memang miss those days...

八打灵范围内豆花数这家最棒（纯属个人意见。。。），就在SS2麦当劳附近。。。
Hehe, so far this is the best Taufufa around PJ area(ok this is something very personal ok, like Lion Girl said, your taste bud and my taste bud might just different!), just around SS2 McD ...
还有黑豆浆哦
Even have black bean soya oh...

I am happy and blessed, for I've so many good friends around. Fun, caring and lovely.

I was not too active lately at blog posting for all sorts of excuses... but.. today... Lion darling emailed me asking if I am still alived!

So touched. Someone I haven't meet in real, wondering if I am still alive :) How beautiful is it?

I wanted to write this post since long ago, but for certain reasons it has been delayed until now.

I wanted to say thank you, just a simple thank you to all my dear friends, who being with me when I was sad, down, moody, crazy...and when I couldn't sleep :)

Thanks for your time, your patience and care, really appreciate it. May it just a simple line of 'how are you' to spending hours of time with me, I truely appreciate it :)

I might not tell you loudly that how much I appreciate it, but hopefully you guys can feel it lo :P

Now here I am back in action, and once again, THANK YOU for being with me :) Love you guys! (bear with me if I didnt put a list of the names, takut left out anyone, so you're always in my heart ok! :))

p.s. Lion darling, I tried snap my teeth but... can accept it lah, hahaha... so I'll try again until I can accept it and post it up ok! :P

Mid Autumn Festival used to be one of my favourite festive while I was still staying in Ampang, the old wooden house. Coz I can lit up a lot of candles (easily 6-8 packs of it!) on mum's flower pots (so the overseas church feel!), and mum would be busy lit up all the tang lung... then we'll just sit in front of the house and stares at the candle light... Yeah...and went back to the house watching TV with mooncake, small little yam, trapa bicornis and my favourite pomelo!

But after moved in to this apartment, I only tried lit up the candle for the first year... the feeling is just not right, somemore gotto clean up, sigh... its just too troublesome... As such, ever since first year, I've dropped this habit of lighting up the candles... bye bye candles bye bye lantern...

So sad. Reminds me of a blogger friend's post 'Things that a grown up losing...' I've lost this one...

Still, there is one small little thing I guess I'm still holding it... in my subconscious... that I used to drag my colleague to cut the mooncake with me in the office.. hahaha... just want to feel the atmosphere like kid... but this year, I've changed to Taufufa instead of mooncake...

16 Sept, everyone was just so ambitious to hike! To kill time and fats eh? Hehehe... Here we are, Gunung Nuang, Hulu Langat, the highest peak in Selangor (1493m...)

How was it? I wouldn't say it is meant for beginner, but... we did have 2 new friends (Soo Sin & Ian) who never hike before manage to make it to Kem Pacat! Big claps for them!

Took us about 8 hours for both way, we didnt make it to the submit as it was already 1pm when we reached Kem Pacat, which need another 1hr 20mins to reach the summit...hmn... I wouldn't like to stay in jungle when it is dark... so... next round lo (which I already said I won't be going in in another 1 year time! hahahaha)

Ya man, die die preventing the shoes get wet at the beginning... but then... later... we even washed our shoes at camp lolo stream...hehe

这比起那黄泥路还不算太崎岖 :PStill not so bad comparing to the slippery muddy path... :P

再过一溪。。。

Crossing another stream...

Soo Sin 和Ian还真的不言弃，精神可嘉

Soo Sin & Ian had never give up...

过了这里就是Camp Lolo了。溪水冰凉，在这里歇脚戏水最棒！

After this stream it will be Camp Lolo... we took a rest here while on the way back, the water is so cold and fresh!

歇着歇着就被水蛭给盯上了！！真是冤家路窄。。。不过也没传闻中的那么多，算是大幸。。。

Awaiting for the rest... get kissed by a leech! Arggghhh!!!!!! (But the whole trip only Calintz & I got a leech each, consider 'not so many' lor...)

上山容易下山难。。。此时此地，小女子在高唱‘三个字’，哈哈，充分的领略到为什么以前人家要唱山歌，否则真的时间难过。。。Going down hill is definitely more challenging here...Shouting (instead of singing) the canton song 'Sam Gor Zi' to just divert the attention.. hahaha... what to do, donno how to

跨过这里就到Pacat营地啦

Crossing this huge tree and arriving Camp Pacat!

千里迢迢‘爬’上这里，总得做些招牌白痴动作吧？

Well... all the way up here, gotto do something stupid right? :P

再往上走就会到达山顶。。。Further up will be reaching summit... which we didn't go...

Overall, its quite fun when thinking back the hiking path... just that better to have some 'motive' (like wanna keep fit or create record of hiking the highest peak of Selangor State, else you might find it bit of tiring and might be giving up before reaching camp pacat... Be there early, so that you'll have enough time to hike! :)

Hehe, I was 'forced' to go out lunch with my lovely colleagues yesterday (see they are just too nice to me, don't want me stay alone in office...especially Annie... :P )

There are just too many Seremban Siew Pow nowadays, and not all is nice right? However, we find this particular stall's Siew Pow is just fantastic, both the ingredient and the texture of the skin are very nice, crunchy and yummy :P Not only the Siew Pow, theKaya Puff, the pineapple tarts are also equally tasty! Try it out!

The boss said if we never try his kaya puff, means we NEVER BEEN TO his stall! Hehe, of course must try lo. Its truely nice indeed, most important - the kaya itself is not too sweet and the aroma is very much close with the kaya we bought from Ipoh :P

这是猪肉馅的。。。

This is pork siew pao...

有芝麻的是鸡肉馅。。。

With sesame one is chicken siew pao...

超爱他的凤梨酥。。。

I just love this pineapple tart!

老板很大方哦，看，还摆姿势叻。。。Boss is very sporting oh, give post somemore...

认着老板的样子咯，嘿嘿。。。

So, make sure you get the right stall with the right face ok! hehehe...

To be precise, my birth cert stated I am borned in KL. Parents from Taiping. So why Ipoh? Simply they moved to Ipoh and now my 'Kao Fu' (uncle) still there...To save the trouble, everytime people asked 'you going back to Ipoh, you Ipoh mari??' I will just say 'ya'.. haha...

My 'hometown', Ipoh, First Garden...太久没回老家了，尽然驾过了家门 ==' 所以就直接驾到后面街吃早餐。这广州阿，下午三点有一档叉烧烧肉很有名的哦，还没开始卖就已经有人在排队了。。。Alright, too long didnt go back, went passed uncle's house ==''hahaha... so we just drive to the hawker shop a street behind and enjoyed our breakfast! Ah, the air is so so fresh!There is one Char Siu Siu Yok (Roasted pork) very famous here, start selling @ 3pm, you can see the queue start before 3pm, so you won't miss it...这是道地的凉茶‘崩大碗’，不在餐单里哦。This is the super local drink 'Bang Dai Woon' (chinese herbs, has cooling effect oh) 两块半的云吞面，汤低很不错, 真才实料A still RM2.50 Wan Tan Noodle, taste good, and according to my mum, the soup is pretty much boiled with pork bone(non ajinomoto type..hehe)这鱼头米粉也蛮出名的，汤低很甜，有淡淡的酒香，倒是觉得它有点贵，五元哦。我个人比较喜欢有放淡奶的汤低。。This fish head noodle is pretty famous, but I still prefer the type with milk :P It does taste good, with the light aroma of the wine... RM5, pretty costly especially in Ipoh... 这小魔怪可以从一张开眼睛就一直讲话讲到睡觉。和她玩‘如果你可以一顿饭不讲话，姨姨就带你跑夜市！’，也顶多可以制止她十分钟不讲话而已 ==''问她，你可不可以不讲话？她想都不想就答‘不行啦，我很喜欢讲话！’，哈哈。。。吹涨！

This little monster can keep talking as soon as she wake up UNTIL she fall sleep. Playing the game 'if you can stop talking during the dinner, yi yi (aunt) bring you to pasar malam' - also only manage to stop her for 10mins not talking... hahaha...Asked her 'do you think you can stop talking?', she answered without a second delayed 'No la yi yi, I like talking very much one woh...' hahahaha... how???

Ya man, every Friday night there is a huge Pasar Malam here in First Garden. Where are the foods? Hehe, sorry, one hand holding 6 yrs old monster, another holding a 61 yrs Queen(mother :p) , no hands for photos already, somemore hungry, we bought and we ate there on the spot! Hehehe...都是舅母的拿手小菜，所以我们也很少到外面用餐。。。All Aunt's yummy home cook food. Hehe, that's why we seldom eat outside besides the breakfast...发现其实茶叶蛋当菜也很好吃。。。Just noticed that the 'Tea Leaf Egg' also can serve as dishes...如果不是阿德琳，恐怕我也不会到市区（很拥挤叻）:P呵呵，这是驰名的盐焗鸡，十多年之后才知道店名叫‘宴琼林’。原来自己真的很无知。要谢谢琳妹给我个机会到市区跑跑。。。人多时要等，登记名字电话号码后店家会通知你需等几分钟。到时间就好自动现身，不要以为店家会打电话给你哦,电话号马只是拿来做参考而已。。。If it's not bcos of Adeline (she ordered this Salty Chicken mah :P), I guess I won't drive out to town (seriously crowded...), and after so many years only I know the shop's actual name...see how ignorance I am eh?If there is a long queue, they'll asked for your name and phone number and tell you how many mins you need to wait for the salty chicken. Present yourself automatically after the mentioned waiting time ok, don't expect they will call you up. Coz the phone no. is for reference purposes only....Thanks Adeline for giving me a reason to go to town :P等待的同时，左望望，右望望，看到了这小小的豆花豆浆店，当然不会放过咯，反正要等嘛。豆花功夫不到家,吃起来很‘散’，有点失望。。。We spotted this little shop along the street that selling Tau Fu Fa and Soya plus some other icy drink. Hehe, of course storm in while waiting for the salty chicken right??This Tau Fu Fa not nice lo, not 'compact' enough...什雪（八宝冰），老妈的致爱，这倒是很正点，椰糖很香，又厚料，而且冰料很新鲜！Ice Kacang, this one best, the Melacca sugar was cooked until it smell and taste so good, the ingredient also fresh, tasty!看到这卡片时我很讶异，小小店家也有卡片。好像在镇里的通通就是好吃似的。。。I was amazed as a small little shop that selling drinks only also got its name card printed, as if everything in the town were good... (well of course not :P)

还有什么？当然是我的至爱-柚子啦！记得每年中秋，再穷，柚子再贵我都会死死买一粒回家，呵呵，好吃嘛，而且觉得没了柚子就好像中秋没有月亮一样，不完整。。。所以这次，一次过买了八粒回家（有些要派人的啦）。。。呵呵呵。。。What else?? My favourite PAMELO of course! Hehe, grabbed 8 pieces this time :P Why not? Here in KL is like eating 'gold' especially during Mid Autumn Festive, if I am driving a bigger car, I guess I'll grab more! Hehe, this one really my favourite, regardless how 'pok gai' I am during Mid Autumn Festival, I sure will buy one home, as if without pamelo, is like the festive without the moon...
